For Me

For me the problem is the -s or silent option in the time-compile-mplayer command. Just running the same commands that script does without timing gives me wild results sometimes works, sometimes dont. It is never silent. Running the script time-compile-mplayer without the -s option is silent anyway. I would guess that may be a make bug? Anyway silent or -s seems uneeded and since Michael assumed the -jX was the problem he fell back to -s which is problem no matter with or without the -j option. But just running with make -j5 gives me more real results. Seems to end with encoder or mencoder right?
Anyway there's my 2 cents.

Edit: Yes sometimes the time-compile-mplayer would work but for me it was completly random but it I just ran phoronix-test-suite run build-mplayer it seemed to work more than not. Where like compile or multicore would fail more than not evem though it is first in all those I belive.

Ok something else , if I run the commands manually from
time-compile-mplayer (without the -s ) it works consistantly.

If I run the script without the -s it fails the second time
consistantly. Almost as if it is not really doing the

rm -rf MPlayer-1.0rc2/

so it is not a clean
install. Indeed if I run the time-compile-mplayer script then go
in and do a make clean then run it again it works everytime.
I know this is NOT true cause if I throw in a make clean when it changes dirs then it errors out cause there is nothing to clean.

I would say this is impossible. What are the odds? 100% I guess.

Anyway the commands work manually but not in the script, timing issue?

Running universe-cli I get similar problems:
I'm also getting similar problems with build-php and build imagemagick. It just seems to be way too quick on some boxes. A single core opteron box beat a quad core xeon tigerton box by 50 seconds!

I think i've got the same issue, On a dual netburst Xeon (dell 1850) PTS 0.7 I get :
